I\u2019ve got no illusions about the claim I\u2019m making. My job\u2019s to swing the bat as the ball flies by and my plan\u2019s to knock that sweet baby out the park, is what. Yet framed by birth and death and with infinite time both behind and forward, failure\u2019s no shame, success no glory. \u201cFun\u201d, \u201clove\u201d, and \u201chelpful\u201d are better key words, better touchstones by far.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>On the other hand<\/strong>, what if it\u2019s true? What if this website is a new genre of literature? And what if this form were the basis of a new kind of literary journal or magazine? Like this:\n<ul>\n<li>This genre of literature, the Bird and Ocean kind of website-thing, Minimum Essential Elements of the genre are:\n<ul>\n<li>Several works<\/li>\n<li>By a single writer<\/li>\n<li>Presented visually and textually online<\/li>\n<li>Forming a whole of some kind:\n<ul>\n<li>A whole introduction to a writer<\/li>\n<li>A whole year\u2019s production (or half a year, or whatever)<\/li>\n<li>A whole tour of a single theme or project within a writer\u2019s work<\/li>\n<li>A whole cohesive experience for visitors to the site<\/li>\n<li>etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Now imagine a literary magazine showcasing this genre:\n<ul>\n<li>Each issue would be, instead of a single work by a wide range of writers, a more substantial intro or experience of a handful of writers.<\/li>\n<li>Each issue would be like an art gallery which features the work of 3-5 artists at a time, simultaneous solo exhibitions, or exhibitions grouped thematically. Literature would be presented in a manner less fragmented, as substantial encounters with individual visions of life and art. Each writer would gain opportunities to more fully present their work, their styles, their range, their evolution as an artist.<\/li>\n<li>Maybe something similar\u2019s already being done \u2013 but are they really or only superficially similar? The kind of literary magazine I\u2019m describing is not a collection of one or two works by a range of writers. It is:\n<ul>\n<li>a curated experience of<\/li>\n<li>a substantial quantity of works by<\/li>\n<li>a small number of writers,<\/li>\n<li>each presented in its own website or webspace within the magazine website, and<\/li>\n<li>so i think quite different from any literary journals currently being published.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Past issues of the magazine would become permanent archives of individual writers\u2019 work-displays, preserved portfolios, giving writers fresh options and opportunities for showing and sharing their work.<\/li>\n<li>(If you\u2019re interested in producing or supporting such a literary magazine, <strong>let me know LINK<\/strong> and I\u2019ll do my best to help)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>But wait, what about Bird and Ocean dot com? What is this website? Is it a Seasonal self-publishing Multimedia Online Kinetic Experience?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>S<\/strong>easonal self-publishing.

What is seasonal self-publishing, and how did the idea come about?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>I\u2019ve been writing for over half a century and published a bit in literary journals but had a rough time in that experience, so finally decided on self-publishing.<\/li>\n<li>But self-publishing presented its own puzzles. How to do anything new?<\/li>\n<li>This idea of \u201cseasonal self-publishing\u201d came in a flash, in a moment of resentment and shame, rejection and defiance: \u201cI\u2019ll show \u2019em what fer!\u201d That was June 2024.<\/li>\n<li>I worked on the seasonal self-publishing idea for 9 months, thinking I\u2019d hire a web development agency to put the thing into its final online form. That didn\u2019t work out (LINK TO BLOG POST). For one thing, only a few agencies answered my queries.<\/li>\n<li>I asked ChatGPT to help me refine my query email.\n<ul>\n<li>(<a href=\"https:\/\/wasteland.windingway.org\/epigraph\/nam-sibyllam-quidem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis \u2026<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>and the AI (respondebat illa) replied:\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cYou can do this yourself, you know.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cGet out of here,\u201d I scoffed.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cReally.

How is it a new and never-before-seen-nor-imagined genre of literature that combines elements from many other forms of literature?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s a writer\u2019s website: but quite different from most.<\/li>\n<li>With a seasonal rhythm inspired by British television sitcom or panel show production:\n<ul>\n<li>During a 4-6 week \u201cin-season\u201d period the site will be very active. I\u2019ll publish at least one full-length book along with many shorter pieces, and hopefully also participate in online discussions and activities.<\/li>\n<li>During the rest of the year, there may be a few special events to keep interest fresh, but mostly the site will be static (still with much to enjoy, though) while I continue writing and working behind the scenes to produce the next season\u2019s contents and experiences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s like a record album in this way: the site becomes a seasonal record of an artist\u2019s yearly work.<\/li>\n<li>And a coffee table book: I\u2019m hoping to publish each year\u2019s seasonal website \u2013 the texts, images, discussions \u2013 in physical form at some point.<\/li>\n<li>And a literary magazine: the site includes full-length books, long and short articles, also ephemeral posts on a variety of topics. All together this creates a body of work that\u2019s enjoyable to explore, similarly to a magazine. Maybe akin to zines of the \u201880s and \u201890s.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s autobiography: The site records a process of individual life and work.<\/li>\n<li>With elements of performance piece or studio- theatre: I mean the spurious bits, the momentish fillagree (sic), touches of graffiti sprayed over one\u2019s own work \u2013 the ref\u2019s to Eliot above, for example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/birdandocean.com\/studio\/project\/ideas-ai-sybil-at-cumae\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI\/sybil comparison<\/a>, and that \u201cSo shantih. Bitches.\u201d I mean, what the hell is that? I\u2019m really ashamed I put that in, now, and I\u2019ll remove it later but \u2026 it does have something. It strikes a bell, a small tin bell the size of a thimble that protects your thumb from the prick of a needle, the kind of wound which draws a single drop of crimson blood: \u201cSo shantih (that\u2019s the drop of blood). Bitches (that\u2019s the \u2018ouch!\u2019).\u201d\n<ul>\n<li>In a studio-turned-theatre stuff like that can be left in, for a while anyway, then later removed. Or better yet archived.
